Lyrics
It may sound funny But when your love is nearly new You say, "I'll try," rather than, "I do" I'll try to get there in the end The cuckoo is a pretty bird It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard It reminds me how you stole into my heart and threw everything away It's outrageous, so shoddy The way you're making love to someone else's body And I know we said we won't But you can call me when you want And you know I'll always bear Thought you'd like to know I still think you are the most But you left me living here married to a ghost It gets so cold at nighttime So cold at nighttime Sometimes dreams come true One night when the moon is blue I may come to you With a love that's nearly new Oh, my love I tried to love you But I guess I'm out of practice And practising is strictly for the birds Yes, the cuckoo is a pretty bird It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard And it reminds me how you stole into my heart, then threw everything away Then you stay It's outrageous, it's disgraceful The way that you and I could end up being so tasteful And my flesh can go and crawl Halfway up the bathroom wall And you, you know I'm always there I thought you'd like to know I still think you are the most But you left me living here forever married to a ghost Oh, it gets so cold at nighttime I never knew it got so cold at nighttime But sometimes dreams come true So one night when the moon is blue Then I may come to you With a love that's nearly new
